Interests:Day-to-day life is interesting enough. Sure like this rifle collecting and shooting.I have a wife and I have a 24/7 dog companion and a lot of time to devote to both.

A little German 'garden gun' has come across my path and I would like to consider getting it, but it is chambered in .22 CB caps. Is this ammo normally available (I mean when ammo overall is normally avalable)? Or can a gun be rechambered somehow to shoot a different case length?

After looking at that picture, I must have had some variant of CB Cap ammo from CCI because that would have never cycled through my gun. At one time, CCI made CB Longs which had the same length case as a LR but the power of a CB Cap so they would feed well and not leave a ring.

J&G Sales has them in stock as of 11:25 17 Feb. Pricy little guys. Listed under "other" in their rimfire section. In the details states they are for smoothbores, which is what I understood the term "garden gun" to indicate.

If It didn't have cloectable value and was cheap enough, it would be worthwhile chambering in long rifle so you could shoot shotshells. Like MoSkeeTo used to be. That was fun in the 70s. The CCI rounds that look like they have Contact capsule in the end are way pricy, but Winchester was still making the crimped ones that were reasonable. Would be useful on carpenter bees.

The national budget must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work ,instead of living on public assistance.
